All-Out-Attacker set, pure special. It's still nice without Nasty Plot.

Hoopa-Unbound @ Life Orb Ability: Magician EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid / Modest / Hasty / Rash Nature

- Dark Pulse

- Psyshock

- Focus Blast

- Calm Mind / Substitute / Knock Off

Dark Pulse and Psyshock are two STABs, and Psyshock can break through special walls that has lower physical defense. Focus Blast is to hit Dark Types which resists both STABs. For the last slot, Calm Mind enables Hoopa to 2HKO Chansey with Psyshock and has a better matchup against stall in general. Substitute can be used to remedy prediction, especially when the opponent is likely to change to faster Pokemon. Knock Off is an interesting option as well due to its ability to remove item from the opponent while dealing decent damage. Notably, Knock Off + Psyshock combo can easily KO Chansey. Thunderbolt is an option to hit Skarmory.

Nature options : Timid is optimal due to its ability to outspeed base 70 and 75 speed with boosting nature. Modest is used for maximum damage output, while Hasty and Rash are possible options when using Knock Off.
